Growing Tips 

Soil Preparation

• Soil Type: Cauliflower thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. A loamy or sandy soil enriched with organic matter is ideal.

• pH Level: Aim for a soil pH of 6.0 to 7.5 to promote optimal nutrient absorption.

Planting Instructions

1. Sowing: Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 18-24 inches apart in rows. For home gardens, spacing can be adjusted according to available space.

2. Timing: Ideal planting time varies by region but generally occurs in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.

Watering and Fertilization 

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cauliflower requires about 1-2 inches of water per week.

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost before planting and a side dressing of nitrogen-rich fertilizer as the plants grow.

Pest and Disease Management

• Regularly inspect your plants for pests such as aphids and caterpillars. Use organic pesticides or neem oil as necessary.

• Implement crop rotation to minimize disease risks and enhance soil health.

Harvesting

• Timing: Cauliflower heads are ready for harvest when they are firm and compact, usually around 70-100 days after planting.

• Method: Use a sharp knife to cut the head, leaving a few leaves attached to protect the head during storage.
